The First Store System

Chapter 213 - Founder



Chapter 213: Founder

There was only one thing Dwarves loved more than anything. It was their love for different kinds of metals.

So, when they heard about the iron mine deal, they forgot about their cowardly behavior and decided to meet Maria.

The Dwarf that stepped out of the door only came up to Maria's waist but was bulkier than many beings. Since Dwarves were only a mid-level race in the Primal dimension, and even the Bisan Kingdom holds around a hundred thousand Dwarves, Maria didn't get surprised by their appearance.

"Welcome, honorable ruler!" The Dwarf bowed and greeted Maria. "Follow me!" Before Maria could respond, the Dwarf gestured for her to follow him.

After telling Maria to follow him, the Dwarf didn't wait for her response and instead turned around to enter the door.

If Maria didn't know about the nature of the Dwarves, she would've thought that they were trying to show who was superior between them, but she knew their characters. In reality, the Dwarf wasn't disrespecting her but rather was terrified of standing outside with no protection, so he did not wait for her response.

Maria followed the Dwarf to the door and then the underground stairs. Before she could make out of the structure, the system alerted her that her six hours inside Panagea was over, and the next moment, she disappeared from there, making the Dwarf's face pale with horror.

"O Ymir, save me!" The Dwarf shouted and dashed down the stairs without daring to look behind him.

***

"Seeing the enthusiasm of Dwarves after hearing about the iron mine, you would be able to complete your task either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Evelyn commented after hearing Maria's experience for the day.

"But trading an iron mine for some low-level Dwarves..."

Evelyn didn't complete her sentence since she also knew the difficulties of Maria. 

If Maria was Level 20 or more, she wouldn't have needed to make this deal. She would've chosen the Orc settlement and directly made them submit since they loved stronger beings. She only needed to defeat someone strong from their camp, and many from that settlement would become her follower on their own.

But since Maria was only Level 3, she could only use the trade tactics with Dwarves.

Maria and the group then left the store after saying bye to the store owner.

Evelyn, George, and the Moyas didn't directly teleport back to their places, but instead, they went to the Maria never-opening restaurant.

Maria would have already opened her store if the three-day event had not occurred. The event ended with Maria taking second place at the best event due to a combination of luck and hard work.

After becoming the ruler, her restaurant may never open. Her primary purpose behind buying the next building to the store was so that she could meet Aakesh every day due to her feelings for him, but now that romantic feelings had instead turned into reverence for Aakesh, so that purpose got defeated.

She then decided to open a restaurant so that she would have a stable earning source since buying products from Aakesh's store cost a large amount of money, but now that she had gotten a territory inside Panagea and was making her own organization, the money problem had gotten solved. Now her complete focus would be on Panagea to become both wealthy and powerful.

***

Inside the store, Robert and Eris both had entered Panagea for the first time, so before entering their territory, the introduction Angel showed them the history of the Panagea.

Unlike other customers, Eris was someone who had lived in the third dimension and knew more than others about the races and creatures belonging to the second and third dimensions.

When he saw the face of the Emperor Panis of the ten Emperors, he yelled, "FATHER!", and knelt down while crying.

Emperor Panis had the same features as the first and the strongest being of the Titan race. Eris wasn't the son of the founder. In the Titan race, the founder was called father by every single being belonging to the race. They didn't even call their own father, 'Father!'

Unlike Aakesh, the Angel did not care about Eris' feelings and continued the scenery of the wars.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time had passed, the scenes ended, and Eris appeared in a concrete house.

Living for so long had its own benefits, such as Eris had gotten calm only a few moments later after seeing the face of the founder.

"This feeling again!" Eris muttered as he found himself returned to the ordinary mortal level.

He had only felt this feeling once before when he had entered the last event. Even a newborn in the Titan race had an equivalent power level to a Tao Manifestation level cultivator, so for Eris becoming an ordinary mortal was a very uncomfortable feeling.

After getting over the discomfort, he looked around to find where he was.

He found himself in a house entirely made of concrete. There was a bed, a few chairs.

Out of all the chairs, one particular chair in the center stood out.

The other chairs were made of concrete, while the special chair was made of iron, with a comfortable cushion to sit on its seat.

Eris knew it was the chair specially made up for him as he was the ruler of the territory, while the other chairs belonged to his future subjects.

The room was square in shape. The space inside the room wasn't very large, but it was good enough to make it a training room.

Eris then decided to check on other parts of the house. The next moment, a door out of nowhere appeared on the opposite side of him.

He went to the door, grabbed the handle, and unlocked the door. The next moment, an unexpected scene appeared.

Eris found himself in an open area. He looked back and saw a one-story square building.

Eris understood that there was only a single-room building instead of a house. He then looked at the surroundings in front of him.

He found himself in an area filled with various kinds of flowers, trees, and a water fountain only a few steps away from him.

A calm yet delightful scent permeated the entire surrounding.. Eris couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the next moment, a smile automatically spread across his face.
